TunisiaEU for the Future of International Election Observation
A High Level Conference co-hosted by the European External Action Service and the European Parliament brought together partners from around the world to discuss the Future of International Election Observation, key challenges and opportunities.
The conference brought together election observers, electoral stakeholders, donors, civil society and conflict prevention practitioners to take stock of these new challenges including the increasing use of social media for electoral campaigning, the use of ICT in the conduct of electoral processes, and electoral violence. In addition, the conference explored the role and best practices of Parliamentary observation, and how to enhance collaboration between the EU, African Union and United Nations in this area.
